Tie con es and stands close by, with only the white elder boughs between, and yet she does not know it. She is humming a gay little song as she reaches up after the bright blossoms, standing on tip-toe on the hedge-row bank, her small foot printed in the moss. It gives but a treaeherous stand ing place, that mossy bank, and once or twice she has all but slip ped, and has just kept her balance without catching at the thorny branches overhead. But she has not enough roses yet; she reaches out for more, still singing "Every lassie hasher laddie None, they say, have I!" to hear of the misfortunes of all the rest of the world?

She docs not answer makes no movement and the young fellow who has caught her thus is startled bv the silence. "Hose my darling Rose!" And still she dees not speak, she docs not move Her head :s drooping helplessly against his shoulder; her upturned face is. -very white and still not whiter than that of the man bent over her. What harm can this slight fall have done to her? "Is she dead dead ?" he asks himself, with an awful dread in his eyes, "Will site ever come out of this strange swoon ?" The doubt is more than he cau bear. He gathers her closer to his breast again; he covers the sort, upturned face with kisses, before he lays her gently down upon the grass and turns sharply round a bend in the lane, whence the tinkle of an unseen brooklet rings out through the stillnes of the summer morning. He turns round the bend, without another look, fearing to glance upon the face that is so pale. That is so pale? That was so, rather. For it is not a white rose any longer, but crimson as any an gry giant of battles. The girl has turned her head very noiselessly, and glances after him She stands still, and looks up at him.

But just let the word go forth that the same gentlen.an has been hugging Johnson s wife, and sec how every head will be liftad, and every ear opeu and every tongue ready o exclaim: 'I've always thought he was no better than he should be!'' Why is it that when . a man has committed an error there aro M) many hands ready to puh him un to the next slop of wrong doing? and so few exteuded to pull him back to the sure Tooting of right? Why is it, that whenever the world becomes cognizant of any movement it does not thoroughly understaid, it imputes evil cerned in it? 'free tt water' with bis moner. Save it, for old age will soon come, with its vent for benevolenee; perhaps then you can dispose ot it with better judg-nun.

Nothing so much destroys our peace of miud as to hear another express an intention to give us apiece of his, a fine fact1., and make its decay invisi ble.
